1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In this chapter of Choosing the Unknown, we descend into the red rock corridors of Sedona alongside Cocodona 250 ultrarunners—and trace the escape of German surrealist Max Ernst from Nazi-occupied Europe to the Arizona desert. What connects a 250-mile footrace to a man fleeing war? Survival. As runners face the exposed cliffs of Hangover Trail, we explore Ernst’s arrest, internment, and rescue by a covert network of artists, poets, and smugglers. This is a story of exile, endurance, and sculpture built from the dust of freedom. We also travel into the surreal—where Ernst’s legendary sculpture Capricorn stood as a monument to defiance, and where Cocodona runners push through the final threshold toward Flagstaff. Next time, we leave history and step into memory: a vanished girl, a relentless detective, and the dark forests outside Sheep Hill. 🎙 Host: Paul Johnson 🎧 Produced by: Ultra Get Some 🎵 Music and Sound Design: Epidemic Sound 📸 Show Notes, Photos &amp;amp; More: getsomepodcast.com 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/@UltraGetSome 📣 Enjoying the series?
